should be pretty straight up swap, both are the standard 20 fret 34" scale Fender spec neck, even uses the same neck plate
Hi. I have a similar question. I have the Squier Vintage Modified Short Scale bass and P and J pickups. I'm a little guy so I like the shorter neck. I would like to take the neck and put it on an HB body because it has the active humbucker. Do you think the neck will fit or will there be a spacing/gap issue with the way the shorter neck sits in the HB body?

I don't know what the "HB" is. If you are trying to replace a 34" scale with a short scale, you are bound to run into problems with scaling, and probably neck pocket size difference too. Best I can tell you.
